Joseph P. Ryan beats Crazzy Steve with a superkick following the distraction and interference by oVe (Jake and Dave Crist). After the match, Ryan says that everyone now knows why it is important to Cancel Culture to silence those who want to oppose them, then asks oVe if they want to join.

It's time for Locker Room Talk. This week's guest is Chris Bey. Madison Rayne has to rein in Johnny Swinger's excitement regarding Chris Bey as a guest, but this doesn't stop Johnny from speaking for him, saying he can have anything he wants as he has it going on. When asked if he can beat Willie Mack for the X Division Championship, saying he has all it takes to do that and be both a single and tag team performer, calling him "one of those amphibious people."

Backstage, Jimmy Jacobs interviews Jordynne Grace, who says she has been training and scouting the competition at home when Taya Valkyrie shows up. Taya says she would have never taken time off as Knockouts Champion, and while Jordynne has been slacking off and waiting to defend her title, she is game to face Taya with the title on the line tonight. Taya tries to get out of the match, but when Jordynne asks if next week is fine, Taya falls silence. Jordynne then tells Taya she will see her next week.

Rosemary asks Bravo to work for her, and tells him that all he has to do is bite an apple. Before he can do that, Bravo gets a call from Taya Valkyrie asking him to get her dog food despite being on the other side of the country, then leaves, much to the surprise of Rosemary.

Michael Elgin shows up unannounced, demanding the producer play his music. He then says that his time in Impact has constantly gone up and down, and as he says that he beat himself when he lost to Trey Miguel, Sami Callihan makes his presence known.

Scott Steiner shows up. He says that when he heard Impact was coming to town and TNA was invited to show up, he says that there was no way he wouldn't be coming, as he is the reason TNA has TNA and he does not care if he is politically correct. He says that Petey Williams will be his tag team partner in a four-way match at TNA: There's No Place Like Home, then cuts a Steiner Math promo and says he has a 141 2/3% chance of winning because he is Big Poppa Pump. Suddenly, Joey Ryan shows up. Joey Ryan states that he knows what TNA means, then says he does not know what a Big Bad Booty Daddy, genetic freak or Big Poppa Pump is. He then says Steiner should have been cancelled a long time ago just like TNA was. He then offers him a chance at redemption by joining #CancelCulture, saying goodbye to "Big Poppa Pump" and saying hello to "Big Proper Pump." When Ryan offers to shake his hand, Steiner beats him up and tells him and "the snowflakes" to kiss his ass.

Jake is convinced is a test and that Sami is his best friend as all three men agree they are for Ohio, by Ohio and taking over everything.

Moose quickly beats "The Natural" Chase Stevens. After the match, Moose continues to attack Chase Stevens, then grabs a steel chair and hits Stevens with it as more referees show up to tell Moose to stop. As Moose is about to put the chair around Stevens' head, Scott D'Amore shows up and says that if Moose wants a piece of TNA, all he has to do is turn around. He turns around and meets a top rope drop kick from Suicide, who has a more rugged outfit than usual.

At a bar, Rosemary is amazed by how humanity can be so happy when she has spent the last two years trying to get vengeance. She is then met by Raven, who tells her that he gets an orgasmic feeling from eternal vengeance. Rosemary then teleports out of the bar.

Backstage, Willie Mack is congratulated by Ace Austin and Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster The Legend). Willie thinks that Ace Austin is trying to play mind games, but he is not fooled and he will take the X Division Championship from him. Austin says he was trying to be nice and that somebody should teach him how to take a compliment. As he and Reno Scum leave, Johnny Swinger shows up and says that they could have been a great team, then says he wants to face him for the X Division title to get more fans.

The Impact Plus Flashback of the Moment is The Latin-American Xchange (Homicide and Hernandez) vs. Team 3D (Brother Ray and Devon) in the Deuces Wild Tag Team Tournament finals for the TNA World Tag Team Championships from Sacrifice 2008.

We see a vignette from #CancelCulture (Rob Van Dam, Katie Forbes, Joseph P. Ryan), where Joseph P. Ryan is supposed to be a safe space, but it is ruined by the toxic masculinity of The Deaners, who will be cancelled next week. We then see The Deaners (Cody Deaner and Cousin Jake) on their farm. Cody Deaner doesn't seem to know why Cancel#Culture wants to cancel him, and has no idea why he is cancelled or what "cancelled" even means. All Cody knows is that he has to beat Joseph P. Ryan.

Sami Callihan hacks the show, who says that he is in the mood for isolation due to the state of the world and the Internet, and refuses to answer questions about his actions, saying it is for him to know and us to find out. He also says that being put in a match with Ken Shamrock is part of his plan and that he has a plan for everything, and that blood will be on Impact management's hands. He then says that he sees all and will be taking over everything.

Rhino and Sabu beat oVe (Dave Crist and Madman Fulton) in an Old School Rules Match. During the match, Dave Crist hits Rhino with a low blow.

Dave throws a fist at the referee, but the referee ducks and Rhino hits Dave with a Gore for the win following a fast count by the referee.

Backstage, Su Yung climbs into a coffin and teleports into the Undead Realm. In the Undead Realm, Su Yung grabs a noose, then finds Havok and Father James Mitchell in the torture chamber. Mitchell states that since Havok and Rosemary could not play well with each other, one of them has to go and it has to be Su Yung. Su Yung and Havok fight each other with a sword and a crowbar, respectively, but Rosemary is able to grab the noose and choke Havok out. Suddenly, a man in a black mask breaks free of his bindings and hits Su Yung with a baseball bat. As the man is about to finish her off, Su Yung cuts him down with the sword and threatens to kill Mitchell before Havok wraps the noose around Su Yung's neck. Su Yung hits Havok with a crowbar, then gets the noose off as Havok grabs a hook. She takes the hook to Su Yung's mouth, but Rosemary locks in the Mandible Claw and is about to kill Havok with the sword when Mitchell congratulates her. As he says that Su Yung proved herself and that Havok is a disgrace, Mitchell then says it is time to remove them both from her life, and Mitchell's minions grab them both and send them into the Undead Realm. Before they know it, Su Yung and Havok are now in a seemingly endless desert area.

Michael Elgin and Taya Valkyrie beat Tessa Blanchard and Eddie Edwards.

In the Undead Realm, Su Yung and Havok are met by Rosemary, who offers to help them against Father James Mitchell if they trust her one more time. They do, and they teleport back into the Undead Realm before she goes back to partying. Father James Mitchell is surprised to see Su Yung and Havok and says both of them passed the test and earned his respect. Su Yung grabs her dagger, but Havok takes it away only to stab Father James Mitchell herself. Father James Mitchell soon ends up in Heaven, where a kitten and Abyss dressed in white with a bag of thumbtacks awaits him, and Mitchell ends the show by saying "Who booked this shit?"
